Support the College

 Your gift secures a brighter future  

Our Letters and Science graduates leave our campus well prepared for living and contributing in a global society. They are equipped to be critical thinkers and problem solvers in their careers, in their communities and in their personal lives. Indeed, a liberal arts education cultivates an attitude of openness and flexibility and an excitement for lifelong learning.

By supporting Titans in their pursuit of higher learning, you provide a leg up for our students. More than 70 percent of UWO students need financial support—and your gift could make the difference in whether or not a student can enroll at UW Oshkosh.

Diversity and Global Learning Initiative

Contributions to this fund will help us increase the number of courses and learning experiences abroad that enhance our students’ knowledge of and engagement with global issues and cultures. Our varied study abroad programs (we currently have faculty-led programs on six continents), our international Quest III courses within the University Studies Program (general education), and a host of student/faculty global and intercultural research projects are examples of opportunities made possible through donor generosity. LEARN MORE ABOUT STUDY ABROAD OPPORTUNITIES

Student / Faculty Collaborative Research Fund

With this fund we are increasing the priceless opportunities for our students to engage in research collaborations with our faculty.  The value of students’ active involvement in empirical observation, cutting-edge technologies and discovery simply cannot be understated.  And the benefits for faculty and the wider community are significant as well.  Gifts to this fund allow us to provide travel support for presenting research results at professional conferences and to offer stipends to upper level students who might otherwise need to work in jobs unrelated to their fields of study.

Service and Community-Based Learning

The College currently provides field-based experiential learning through community partnerships.  Students apply their coursework through service opportunities, and at the same time, they acquire an understanding of the importance of good citizenship and of giving back to the community.
